pursuant to this Agreement, certificates representing the Shares to be issued to
the Investor on such date and registered in the name of the Investor; and (II)
the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price to be paid for such
Shares, determined as set forth in Section 2(B). In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Securities and provided that the Company's
transfer agent then is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the
Investor, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Securities by crediting the
account of the Investor's prime broker (as specified by the Investor within a
reasonably in advance of the Investor's notice) with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.

The
Company understands that a delay in the issuance of Securities beyond the
Closing Date could result in economic damage to the Investor. After the
Effective Date, as compensation to the Investor for such loss, the Company
agrees to make late payments to the Investor for late issuance of Securities
(delivery of Securities after the applicable Closing Date) in accordance with
the following schedule (where "No. of Days Late" is defined as the number of
trading days beyond the Closing Date, with the Amounts being
cumulative.):
LATE
PAYMENT FOR EACH
NO. OF DAYS
LATE
|
$10,000 WORTH OF COMMON STOCK |
1 | $100 |
2 | $200 |
3 | $300 |
4 | $400 |
5 | $500 |
6 | $600 |
7 | $700 |
8 | $800 |
9 | $900 |
10 | $1,000 |
Over 10 |
$1,000 + $200 for each Business
Day
late beyond 10
days
|
The
Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand by the Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the
Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and
deliver the Securities to the Investor, except that such late payments shall
offset any such actual damages incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market
Adjustment Amount, as set forth below.
(H)
OVERALL LIMIT ON
COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange
that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without
shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and
purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of
Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the "Maximum
Common Stock Issuance"). If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could
cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock
Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance
with applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could
cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that
the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no
way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale
of Securities or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the
Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only
to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in
this Section 2(H).
8
(I)
ADDITIONAL
PENALTIES. If, by the third (3rd) business day after the Closing Date,
the Company fails to deliver any portion of the shares of the Put to the
Investor (the "Put Shares Due") and the Investor purchases, in an open market
transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of
shares which would have been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be
delivered to the Investor by the Company (the "Open Market Share Purchase") ,
then the Company shall pay to the Investor, in addition to any other amounts due
to Investor pursuant to the Put, and not in lieu thereof, the Open Market
Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Open Market Adjustment Amount"
is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Investor's total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Open Market Share
Purchase minus (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any)
received by the Investor from the sale of the Put Shares Due. The Company
shall pay the Open Market Adjustment Amount to the Investor in immediately
available funds within five (5) business days of written demand by the Investor.
By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the
Investor purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover an Open Market Purchase
with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the
Open Market Purchase Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay
to the Investor will be $1,000.

costs associated and / or related to, in any way, with the transaction and / or
transactions herein contemplated and or agreed to under this
Agreement.
35
(N) NO
STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party, as the parties
mutually agree that each has had a full and fair opportunity to review this
Agreement and seek the advice of counsel on it. The normal rule that
ambiguities shall be interpreted against the drafting party shall not apply in
the instant case.
(O)
REMEDIES. The Investor shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies
which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or
contract and all of the rights which the Investor has by law. Any person having
any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce
such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any default or breach of any provision of this Agreement,
including the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees and costs, and to exercise
all other rights granted by law.
(P)
PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
the Investor hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such
payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid
or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.

PRICING OF COMMON STOCK. For purposes of this Agreement, the bid price of the
Common Stock shall be as reported on Bloomberg.

SECTION 13. NON-DISCLOSURE
OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.
(a) The
Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investor, its advisors,
or its representatives.
(b)
Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to
the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that
it does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase
stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements,
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the
Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public
information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or
entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.
